All this talk of Socialism, I was looking at the definition on Wikipedia which includes this line ... "Social ownership can be public, collective or cooperative ownership, or citizen ownership of equity." I was surprised by "citizen ownership of equity". Is the stock market really a socialist...

I think it took some b*lls to do what he did, knowing that the world would see. He shutdown the govt and has to live with the consequences. Himself included. +1.

https://finance.yahoo.com/cryptocurrencies Bit what ? It's uncanny (or is it) ? Almost every (or should I say every) cryptocurrency is trading near or at it's yearly low. It this does not signal that the crypto market is dead, I'm not sure what would.

Yes. I've been running a Zorro strategy for a while (Z7). Not profitable at the moment. But in their defense, I think that the creators of Zorro wanted to provide free software with which anyone could make a profit (the Z systems). But that dream has not apparently been realized. However...

What exactly does the "Fed is shrinking it's balance sheet" mean ? I imagine it has something to do with the national debt, but I have to admit, I'm mostly in the dark. And what does it mean for investors ?

Ditto. Anyway, I have no problems with migrants entering this country (the US) legally. Just curious, notwithstanding whatever moral authority the Pope has, has he read Romans 13 recently ... "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that...

Ditto. And I'm really interested in the theory, and strategy idea generation part (the hard part, in MHO).

I guess an obvious question would be, what type of variables are you trying to define ? Anyway, if you can code in Java, C# should not be much of a problem for you. Have you looked at some of NT's included strategies, for instance, SampleMACrossOver.cs in the Strategies folder ? I can't...

Well, I read or heard recently that for the first time in history, at least 50% of the world's population is now middle or upper middle class. I guess that is good. My personal belief is that may be somewhat due to so much offshoring of western jobs (bad ?).

If you click on the "p" in "Updates" of the "Installing Updates" screen, you'll get a running log of what TOS is downloading, etc. This might help you isolate the problem.

The difference is that the immigrant here is asking if he can come in. I doubt that most "undocumented" immigrants do the same, especially ones in the caravans (I guess if they did, they would be "documented").

I only use trackballs. Better to use your thumb to traverse the screen than your wrist (much faster in this regard). And humans are one of the few creatures with opposable thumbs, so why not take advantage of that ?

Unfortunately, it's indicative of the fragmented climate of our country today. A rational and civil conversation about some topics is nearly impossible. Someone makes an unintentional possibly racist comment about their childhood. Unforgivable. Are we not adults? Can't we talk about it ...

When you go to college you have all kinds of expenses. Perhaps the lower income students had more trouble meeting those expenses, and thus were not able to make it to graduation. Unfortunate.

Hmmm, hoodooman. 4635 posts and 3 likes. Something does not compute.

1) Hate Speech is protected under the 1st Amendment. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that non-governmental (i.e. private) entities cannot ban it. But, frankly, I think that is a bad idea, as I describe below. 2) Most people are reasonable. Banning hate speech removes the possibility of...

For 1, if you mean "change in price", I would say the float. For 2, who knows ?

If you mean Crimea, well, they were part of Russia (actually the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) until Khrushchev gave them away to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in the 50s. So it was more like a homecoming than an annexation (at least to the Crimeans). To everyone...

To me, this seems like the Chilean Miners on steroids. Very difficult. One good thing though, for miners, in my opinion, it's very hard to predict a mine collapse. But I think it would be relatively easy to predict if things change dramatically here, though. Lots of rain means rising water...
